Dortmund and Monaco prepare for quarter-final goalfest - Football


(Reuters) - Despite their attacking qualities, Borussia Dortmund and Monaco face similar concerns as they prepare for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg, with both having their defensive frailties brutally exposed in recent weeks. "I want everyone who comes to the stadium to enjoy watching us because we play attacking football and outscore our opponents," coach Thomas Tuchel told Uefa.com. "I think we are good at winning the ball back, good at playing at a high tempo, good at quick attacking interplay and we're also a hard-working team." Like Monaco, Dortmund have enjoyed the emergence of a talented sensation, with 19-year-old French international Ousmane Dembele contributing five assists in his maiden European campaign. "(Monaco) play at a very high tempo and, in addition to individual talent, they have a very strong team ethic," the coach added.
